West Vancouver Stories

Written during the COVID-19 pandemic by 23 'ordinary' West Vancouver citizens, these stories celebrate the courage, kindness and resilience of the human spirit. West Vancouver Stories: The Pandemic Project is a celebration of hope and resilience. It ensures that our stories will never be lost. "The pandemic of 20/21 has impacted us all in ways none of us could have imagined. While we are united in fighting this common enemy, how each of us experiences it is unique. And I believe that to develop empathy as a society, we need to hear the stories of others. That's why the West Vancouver Stories initiative is so important. It's an opportunity for a diverse and courageous cross-section of our community to share compelling and intimate reflections on life during this extraordinary time; and for the rest of us to understand and appreciate those insights." Mary-Ann Booth, Mayor of West Vancouver Contributing writers: >Deep gratitude to the West Vancouver Foundation for funding this project and to the Coast Salish peoples on whose unceded traditional territories we live, work and write.For additional information about the book and its writers, please visit www.westvanstories.com.
